2011 Toyota Yaris 1.3L Petrol · CV11 NRL

The Toyota Yaris presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 25 March 2025 at 131,417 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the latest two annual tests showing no advisories or faults. Prior to that, the vehicle failed twice on the same dates it later passed, on 1 March 2023 at 130,188 miles and 22 March 2024 at 130,965 miles, though the DVSA record lists no defects for either failure. That pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults, since the car passed on the same day without rectification. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 15-year-old vehicle. The record shows 130,188 miles in March 2023, rising to 130,965 miles by March 2024, then 131,417 miles by March 2025. That equates to roughly 450 miles per year across the last two intervals, well below the lifetime average of 8,761 miles per year. The car has effectively been in very light use since 2023, with only 1,229 miles added over the full recorded span. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data. Given the clean pass history and absence of recorded advisories, no recurring mechanical or structural faults emerge from the MOT trail. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common age-related items not always captured by the test: suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, and underbody corrosion. The twin same-day fail-and-pass entries warrant a check of the DVSA failure reason codes if available, to confirm no suppressed defect such as emissions or lighting was involved. The low recent mileage means fluids, tyres, and brake components may have aged through disuse rather than wear. A buyer should verify tyre sidewall condition, brake caliper freedom after standing, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. The vehicle's record supports a sound used purchase subject to standard pre-sale checks.
